LOVE AND EQUALITY RALLY - #BeTheChangeChallenge
Join us on December 3rd as we launch our BE THE CHANGE movement. At this peaceful demonstration we will gather in solidarity and vow to fight hatred, racism, sexism, bias, and all other forms of discrimination. Together, we will make a unified pledge to be part of the #BeTheChangeChallenge moving forward.
WHERE: Echo Park Lake (*NEW LOCATION)
WHEN:
-12pm check in at the picnic tables on Park and Logan and then gather near the Lady of the Lake statue. Look for a #BeTheChangeChallenge team leader wearing purple to guide you.
-1pm march around the lake.
WHO: Everyone! Bring your families and friends! ALL are welcome.
WHAT: At the rally, we will accomplish step one of the #BeTheChangeChallenge. Each of us will make a pledge to do something active in our daily lives to progress our movement. As examples - you could vow to volunteer for a local charity, become a mentor, stand up to a bully, participate in local government, or call your state senator/congressman to advocate for your beliefs.
WEAR: a PURPLE shirt of your choosing - to signify inclusivity and diversity.
BRING: Just yourselves! We will be making signs at the rally so no need to make them ahead of time.
WHY: On December 3, the KKK plans to have an election victory parade in North Carolina. To combat and counteract their hateful and divisive rhetoric, the rally in Los Angeles will serve to not only promote love and equality but it will be the start of a renewed commitment to BE THE CHANGE we wish to see in the world.
Our voices are loud and powerful. We will not be silenced. We will not be complacent. We will not stand by and watch our fellow Americans have their civil liberties taken away. We will STAND UP and we will FIGHT. Each and every one of us has the power to change the world. But we have to ACT and we have to do it NOW. The smallest ripples can create the biggest waves!
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
